In early 30s I think it was, Pontiac had a model on which
front passenger door opened at the forward edge. Just as the car got up to speed, the door opened. She tried to close it, but the slipstream yanked the door wide open so suddenly she was thrown out of the vehicle and badly hurt.
I searched and found a picture of a 62 Lincoln Continental,with blurb saying "suicidal doors". It shows rear door handle on forward edge, so same hazard as I described above.
